Hmmm - having a PC that shuts off at random times, without warning certainly seems to qualify it under "Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a loss of user data".

In fact this bug can easily lead to an unbootable machine (If it dies during a routine upgrade or similar as it did for me ...)

I defer to your judgement - however I think it's important to understand that this bug is more than just an inconvenience for those affected.
